It's the end of Autism Acceptance Month as far as

It's the end of Autism Acceptance Month as far as the calendar month goes, but we will always love and accept those who see the world a little differently. To our sweet boy, thank you for teaching us to slow down and look at all the exit signs, helping us fix everything in the house that needs fixing, and thank you for just being you. We love ya, dude. 💙

April is Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month! Celebr

April is Autism Acceptance/Awareness Month! Celebrating our special kiddo who loves electricity, plumbing, exit signs, air conditioning, and all things home improvement. We are so proud of our sweet guy and the hard work he's put in through countless hours of various therapies. He's grown so much and is turning into a great kid. ♾️🌈

Finally got that empty castle jump shot during Pri

Finally got that empty castle jump shot during Princess Weekend. It had been a few years since I'd done a race that went through Cinderella Castle and I had to take the opportunity to get this pic. ✨✨ If you want a good castle pic during a race, pull off the course and you'll see a few PhotoPass photographers there ready to take pics! These lines move WAY faster than character lines - it took my dad and I about 2 min to get through, at the most.

Recap of me and Felix's visit to Magic Kingdom. He has come so far with his behavior and expressing himself, and I'm so proud of him handling a busy park without needing a stroller to hide in! We took things at his pace and we both had a great time. By the way -- not sure why it took me so long to try Geyser Point but we will definitely be eating there again!

Epcot with preschoolers is super fun -- this one loves fishies and water so we spent a lot of time visiting her friends at The Seas with Nemo & Friends and playing at Moana Journey of Water!

Another half marathon done! The 2025 Princess Half

Another half marathon done! The 2025 Princess Half Marathon might have been my favorite race I've done. I felt physically so strong and fantastic for most of the race and I finished stronger than I thought I would! I'm pleasantly surprised by my body's ability to push myself 9 weeks post surgery. And of course, it wouldn't be a RunDisney race without dad along for the ride!
